Field your dream team in Baseball 9, a pitch-perfect mix of arcade action and deep club management. Snappy pitching and batting controls make tossing sneaky curveballs and unleashing fence-clearing dingers a breeze. Tweak players’ fielding and throwing stats, swing animations and more between games… then play ball!

What we love: All the little control nuances. Switch up pitches to fool batters. Lay down a squeeze bunt to bring a runner home. Stretch a base hit to a double when an outfielder flubs the catch. It’s an awesome level of freedom.

Quick tip: Bat strategically. Try a power swing when you’re ahead in the count, especially if you’ve got players on base. But if you’re in danger of striking out, fall back to a safer contact swing.
